As a side-effect, Spotify desktop app behaves like Premium, it will not show Ads, but plays music.

If it stops playing music disable the DNS protec, use it for a while, and you can enable it back later, it seems from time to time it checks with Spotify servers, but yeah Spotify Premium for free ;)

I know there are other scripts, but those need a virtual machine or interpreter, and need to be online to work properly, I needed one that can work offline and standalone.
